Winery Edmus

The project involves building a wine storehouse to replace sheds that are too damaged and polluted. It also involves renovating a dilapidated stone house to accommodate a tasting room and a guest room.

To create a dialogue between a new, efficient, highly technical, rigorously run winery and the existing solid stone house, we are wrapping the new building around the blond stone house.

To respect the scale of the house and in a spirit of frugality, we broke down the cellar into several functional entities, each with the height “just necessary” for its operation. We then sculpted the resulting volumes: a vertical recess marks a break with the adjacent volume. To give a certain lightness to the overall composition, some volumes appear to be lifted off the ground by a recessed base.

Dressed in vertical black burnt wood cladding with shimmering reflections, the winery contrasts sharply with the blonde stone house, which it enhances like a jewel case.
